Bob Sinclar (Yellow Productions, www.mona-rennalls.de, Fra)
Friday 14 January 2011 at Zouk
French DJ/Producer and poster-boy, Bob Sinclar, started out delving with Funk & Hip-Hop records, before gradually moving on to popularize House music with that infamous French Touch. Founder of Yellow Productions, home to the Africanism label that was launched with the equally charismatic DJ Gregory, Bob’s skyrocketed with a string of hits like “World Hold On”, “Love Generation” and more recently “Lala Song” & the radio hit “Tik Tok”. Always working on re-edits/remixes of his own tracks for a new perspective, he remains the curious adolescent who never ceases to be amazed at the feelings, music can evoke.

Zouk ‘LIVE’ with Crystal Castles (CAN)
Saturday 15 January 2011 at Zouk, Doors open at 10pm
Clap your hands and say “YEAH!” to Zouk’s new series of ‘live’ performances and more! Be part of the experience and explore new Click Here!">musical tangents of blistering synth-pop bleeps, twee-Indie vocals and Rock jing-jangs, as Zouk ‘LIVE’ keeps up with the latest trends in band land. Incite the kid in you to dancing frenzy and rediscover the joys of good ol’ sing-alongs, power-packed with feel-good vibes through and through.
The much lauded Toronto, Ontario-based duo, Ethan Kath and Alice Glass aka Crystal Castles began their rise to cult status with a slew of limited edition singles which sold out faster than you can say ‘Synthesizer Disco’. With packed-out shows that were promoted solely by word of mouth, their gripping enigmatic onstage persona and unique brand of intense, uncompromising electronic dance music, it was hardly surprising that the band’s debut album would achieve a ranking of No. 39 on NME’s (UK) list of ‘Top 50 Greatest Albums of the Decade’. The duo’s creative energy, their nihilist aesthetic and diverse body of work prove Crystal Castles’ potential is worth much more than ever before.
